Dear Mr. Kelly:
This, Ilk* all days, has been vary busy* McNaughton has been trying to arrange quarters for personnel arriving in twos and threes now* Ha is having little luck das to the slowness of ths Army. McLaughlin has bean taking over the Post carpenter eh bp In order that ths ships' carpenters can bs employed on some of the much-needed work around hare. Leahy, a former meat packer, is studying mess management and prices* He finds that milk and meat cost the CCC entirely too much. Ye are soliciting bids to buy milk in cans instead of in bottles and arrangements are being made to buy cheaper cuts of meat. Dale and Fortune have their desks piled high and typewriters click around this establishment all hours of the night. I have never seen s finer spirit. This is the kind of a job I have been looking fort
A "trial run" will be made in the bakery in the morning. The automatic injector to the boiler was broken and delayed things one day. I believe I pointed out before that it costs but 2*7 cents to bake breed and 8 cents per pound to buy It. This runs Into money in a large mess.
You will recall how pleased I was when Col. Ednie left and the entire set-up, CCC and Army, was turned over to M ajar Sullivan. Well, it appears that while we gained in soma respects we are losing in others, for he is switching good Army property for poor CCC property. In this connection he took all of the nice inks desk chairs (about 19) out of this office and substituted chairs entirely unsuitable for use with desks. We will have to requisition some unless he sees ths light as a result of the enclosed memorandum which I am addressing him today.
Needless to say, I am anxious to get the Army out of this picture as soon as possible. I hope this memo, has ths desired effect.
Now about the fencing. We will save about $8,000, exclusive of the freight by reducing the recreation area. Unless you Intend to place over 1000 here I would suggest that 90 rolls be eliminated from the requisition together with the posts mentioned in the telegram I am sending you tonight* �-<--*�� ~e~~*�^-^^fc<^ -
We will be prepared to receive 483 at 7.30 on the morning of the 20th.
We have made arrangements to buy coal from the Quartermaster and have ordered two cars.
The Army wants its fire truck in 90 days. I might figure giving them aaVd .felts-elephant before then.
Reg
